The Convenient Marriage (MLB Fanfiction) COMPLETE✔

Chapter 65

Adrien knew he was dead.

  His schedule was incredulously tight and it would be at any hour that he was sure exhaustion would kill him entirely.

This was the first time he had ever slept in. Granted, it was only an extra hour of sleep before he had to be ready but this was the first time he had ever had an entire morning to relax for himself.

That was until Kagami flooded his inbox with messages asking when he was planning on coming over so that she could move away.

  Adrien couldn't have cared less where she went, but at this point he just wanted her out of his life. If he could somehow help in any way, shape or form, he'd do just that.

Of course that meant sacrificing the only time he had off in such a long time, but whatever got the job done.

  Adrien hadn't recieved any messages from Marinette since the night he was promised she would reply to him, but Adrien wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Before they both split, they had been so busy with their previous commitments. 

Marinette was always booked with school during the day and her night shifts at the bar when that was over. 
Perhaps she couldn't get back to him because she was too busy. 

  Adrien groaned, his bed feeling completely empty now that he wasn't sleeping beside his wife or his pet anymore. There was a hole in his chest that tugged at his heart relentlessly. 

  There were days he wanted to cry, and Adrien often got to that point, but he remained stubborn enough to keep himself together. 

He turned over to his side, his hands rummaging through the bedsheets for something. Anything to give him comfort. He was always so used to finding someone beside him, but each time his hands came up empty, Adrien only died a little more inside.

   "She took the cat," he mumbled to himself, his voice groggy with sleep as his hands clutched onto the empty bedsheets. "She took the fucking cat!"

He groaned, loosening his grip from the sheets and then reaching for his pillow. He placed the pillow over his head, his heart sinking into the sour acid in his stomach.

  He had never felt so alone in his life - and he thought the neglect he received from his father was bad. Adrien kept his eyes closed beneath the pillow, hoping that one day he'd just die and become a forgotten fossil of his bed. He was sure to let his misery overtake him, he either wanted to suffocate or slam his head through a window, but for now, he'd allow the silence to scream at him. 

   That was until his phone started ringing.

Adrien groaned, he knew who that was and it sure as hell wasn't Marinette.
  He didn't want to answer, and he knew that despite Kagami causing a ton of problems in his relationship with Marinette, he had gone ahead and made that ridiculous promise to help her move her things. 

He still couldn't understand why she continued to pester him about helping her, when Adrien knew without a doubt that she must've had other choices. Adrien hated to know who else she slept with while they were together, but that was a can of worms he'd never open. 
  It was better to leave it in the past.
Adrien hated that part about himself. He felt that he was too kind. His mother taught him to never break a promise and that's how he was raised, it didn't matter how horrible the person was.

  Everyone deserved respected, and everyone deserved to be loved. Going back on his word made him feeling like he was disappointing his mother in some way.
Adrien couldn't do something like that.
But he'd be lying to himself if he didn't admit that he was slowly losing his patience.
